    Memory Sharing Image Processing Unit
    The present invention relates to image processing. More specifically, the present invention relates to a memory shared image processing apparatus for processing a composite video signal by sharing a memory used in a double window image reproduction process and a 3D luminance / color signal separation process.
    In general, a television receives a broadcast signal transmitted from a broadcasting station through an antenna and displays an image signal on the television's receiving tube so that the viewer can watch the image displayed on the screen of the television. While selecting a broadcasting station and watching a television broadcast, a separate space is provided on one side of the currently displayed screen to display broadcasts of other broadcasting stations simultaneously to display the broadcasts of other broadcasting channels while maintaining the display state of the currently watching screen. Televisions with Picture in Picture (PIP) functions, which allow users to watch broadcast contents, have also appeared. That is, when the PIP function selects a certain broadcast and wants to check the broadcast contents that are being broadcast on another broadcast channel while the viewer is watching the broadcast, the viewer presses a mode switch button to switch the mode to the PIP function. The size of the space is displayed and the other selected broadcasts appear.
    Recently, projection TV and TV trends use 3D Y / C separation techniques to perform sub-screen image processing and to minimize interference with each signal in separation of luminance and color signals. Therefore, the frame memory for sub-picture image processing and the correlation between frames when three-dimensional Y / C separation is used, which also uses a frame memory separate from the frame memory for sub-picture image processing, are used in two places. Is used. In particular, in video devices such as projectors using an actuated mirror array (AMA), high quality products are realized by satisfying consumer demands by realizing images in larger screens.
    1 shows a configuration of a conventional image processing apparatus. The conventional image processing apparatus 10 includes a three-dimensional Y / C separator 11, a first memory 12, a double window picture-in-picture processing apparatus 13, and a second memory 14. The three-dimensional Y / C separator 11 separates three-dimensional Y / C of a high quality composite video signal. The first memory 12 writes and reads the high quality composite video signal from the three-dimensional Y / C separator 11. The double window picture-in-picture processing apparatus 13 receives a composite video signal and processes the composite video signal into a main picture and a subpicture. The second memory 14 writes and reads the main picture and the sub picture from the double window picture-in-picture processing apparatus 13.
    Therefore, in the conventional image processing apparatus, two frame memories must be controlled, so that the number of data lines and control lines is large, and therefore, the controller controlling two frame memories requires a large number of input terminals and output terminals. It was not possible to use a control integrated device, and to control by storing and outputting image data in two frame memories using two control integrated devices, which causes a complicated circuit configuration. It is also relatively expensive compared to other devices, although the price has dropped considerably due to the development of memory manufacturing technology. The use of these memories separately complicates the design to avoid cost increases and added digital noise.
